Arguing in favour of the resolution is Gadi Taub. He’s an Israeli historian, author, political commentator, and co-host of the popular Tablet Magazine podcast, Israel Update.

Arguing against the resolution is Trita Parsi. He’s the executive vice-president of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft.

“Iran is not a normal state. It is a terror-sponsoring regime. And letting it have the bomb would be a peril to the world order.”
-Gadi Taub

“It’s almost guaranteed that Iran will have a nuclear weapon if military strikes are taken.”
-Trita Parsi
